The City of Cincinnati is expected to put out a request for proposals next month in what could be the largest solar array by a city on city property. The 25 mega-watt project would power 25 percent of the city's energy needs.
Energy Manager Michael Forrester stands on one of a dozen possible sites that could power a portion of Cincinnati's energy needs, the former Center Hill landfill. "This is a great site because it's large," he says. "Very rarely in the City of Cincinnati do you have 60 acres of underutilized land that you can put a whole bunch of solar on." There are two 30 acre plots. Only one would be used.
